International peer-review
The FWF has implemented an international peer-review system, which is good. A proposal in German will inhibit a international peer-review system as French, Italian, British, Japanese, American reviewers will not be able to judge the German proposals. Do you really want back the German-speaking "Old-Boys" networks, where the "peer"-review by your German and Swiss colleagues (friend or enemy) will always support the same people and block others? If you are against international peer-review, only then you may support this initiative that will push back Austria into a provincial state.
